As we sit at our breakfast bench with our cup of joe’s and boiled eggs on toast, we can’t help but reminise over our delicious dinner at Melbourne’s hidden little gem… Brothl.

We have some what of the same love for this place as we do for ‘Feast of Merit’ (refer to past blog post).

Brothl takes sustainability and the idea of no waste quite seriously.

Here is a segment from their menu which sums up this whole idea perfectly….

‘Brothl employs some of the most traditional and primitive methods to produce food that should have never been discarded. Worldwide nutrients are being dumped into landfill. At the same time our food is becoming less nutrient dense. Limiting organic waste by up cycling these nutrients back into the food system is what Brothl is about’

Obviously as the name suggests, this place serves immune boosting, probiotic rich and ultimately nourishing broths. You also have the choice to accompany your chosen broth (that being vegetable, beef bone, fish or chicken) with an abundance of healthy sides they have on offer.

You can choose between brazed beef brisket, poached chicken, offal, kimchi, chicken feet, miso and the list goes on….. To top it all off they also supply you with house made sourdough and cultured butter or if you are gluten intolerant they also cater for you (we had their chickpea falafels).

The fact that this place is so tiny and hidden is what gives it its character. You can’t help but be curious whilst walking past watching two mebourneans sip their broths out of ceramic like pots.. If this doesn’t grab your attention we don’t know what would. Oh actually, the welcoming fun wait staff would probably do the job.

A few months back we went to a seminar hosted by Melbourne Street Organics and the one message that really stuck with us was the quote by Therese Kerr ‘We are the only species that are contributing to our own extinction’. With this in mind, we 100% support all small businesses that are for organic, sustainable, ethical produce.
